Modify word in sentence?

[Pew446]

Lets say I have a sentence:

%words = "Happy flappy crappy"

And I wanna modify flappy to be trappy.

How would I go about doing this without doing this:

Code: [Select]

%words = getword(%words, 0) SPC "trappy" SPC getword(%words, 2);

Same goes for if the words were completely random and I wanted to change the center to trappy.

%words = setWord(%words,1,"trappy");

[herb]

or for a random

%words= "Happy flappy crappy";

%random=getRandom(1,3) or instead of 3, you can use getwordcount(%words);

%replace=getWord(%words,%random);

%words=strReplace(%words,%replace,"Trappy");

this will change a random word, to trappy

[Headcrab Zombie]

Using strReplace would replace every occurance of %replace , if you just want to change that one you would do %words = setWord(%words,%random,"trappy");

[herb]

but i dont see any other 'occurances' in the string

but yeah, setword would work better

[Headcrab Zombie]

I'm pretty sure "Happy flappy crappy" was just an example.

[Pew446]

Yeah it was.

Thanks so much! This has helped alot.

Because your mother.

Edit:

This is why americans suck at life. When they realize that they can't do something, they quit. I'm not a handicap like that. I keep going, so I won't end up being payed 7.50 an hour and living in my parents house.

How would I use this with variables?

Such as:

%var = "123 444 987";

setword(%var, 1, -= 10);

Or something?

what are you trying to do?

in words please

[MegaScientifical]

Code: [Select]

function switchWord(%text, %word, %replace) {
%r = 0;
for(%i = 0; %i < getWordcount(%text); %i++) {
if(getWord(%text, %i) $= %word) {
%text = setWord(%text, %i, %replace);
%r = 1;
}
}
return %r;
}
That should work. And I added a return if it changes any words.

I want to do %var = %var - 10, but inside of the setword.

However this seems like a pain:

setword(%var, 1, (getword(%var, 1) - 10));

[Pew446]

Code: [Select]

function switchWord(%text, %word, %replace) {
%r = 0;
for(%i = 0; %i < getWordcount(%text); %i++) {
if(getWord(%text, %i) $= %word) {
%text = setWord(%text, %i, %replace);
%r = 1;
}
}
return %r;
}

Wouldn't that just be the same as setWord?

switch, you dumbass.
